Doupo: Who is Yandi? He should call me brother.

Chapter 67 Cooperation with Medusa
In the empty desert, a loud bang like muffled thunder suddenly exploded, followed by a surging heat wave that spread to almost half of the desert.

"Boom!" On the vast surface of the desert, countless sand pillars shot up into the sky, which was extremely spectacular.

Amidst the sand pillars in the sky, a huge red light suddenly flashed. Wherever the red light passed, the sand pillars immediately disappeared, and were replaced by diffuse dust.

The huge sound of thunder continued to echo in the desert.

Xiao Li covered his ears with his hands and stared at the sound caused by the attack with his mouth wide open. After a while, he swallowed hard and turned his gaze suddenly to Medusa. However, at this time, the diffuse dust completely blocked his sight.

A gust of wind blew out from the depths of the desert, and the dust quickly dissipated. Medusa, who had been resisting Yao Lao's attack, finally slowly revealed her true appearance.

Blood was oozing from the corners of Medusa's mouth, and her breath was weak, completely losing her previous strength.

With one strike, Medusa, who was at the peak of Douhuang level, was seriously injured.

Xiao Li's pupils trembled. Seeing that Yao Lao was about to kill him, he quickly stopped him, "Yao Lao, wait a minute!"

Yao Lao frowned and turned to look at Xiao Li, "What's wrong?"

Medusa covered her chest with her hands, her face pale. Is this the Dou Zong? He is indeed powerful. It would be great if I could find the strange fire.

Xiao Li stood up reluctantly, "I recognize her, Queen Medusa, I want to do business with her."

Yao Lao stared at Xiao Li without asking any further questions. Although there was confusion in his eyes, he believed that Xiao Li had his reasons.

Yao Lao had to admire Xiao Li's courage in doing business with the enemy who had just seriously injured him.

Medusa's eyes were cold. "Although I lost, if you have any dirty thoughts, I would rather die."

Although her tone was still cold, Medusa had actually surrendered. If she were alone, she would not be afraid of death, but unfortunately, she was the queen of the snake people. Once she died, the Gama Empire would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the snake people.

Xiao Li took a deep breath and calmed the restless Dou Qi in his body. The effect of the Nine Steps to Heaven dissipated, and Xiao Li's strength returned to the three-star Dou Ling level.

"I have traveled far and wide, and I heard that the snake people have a secret method that can use strange fire to transform. The queen is now at the peak of the Douhuang level. I wonder if you have any ideas about this secret method." Xiao Li's eyes were calm, but his words made Medusa feel horrified.

Does he know that I’m here to look for the Strange Fire?

No, Medusa rejected this idea. She did not tell anyone that she came out to find the strange fire, so no one else could possibly know.

"So what? I don't need that thing. I can still break through to the Dou Zong level." Medusa was still cold and arrogant. If she agreed with Xiao Li's statement, she would almost expose all her intentions. Medusa thought she was not that stupid.

Xiao Li smiled faintly, and did not argue with Medusa anymore. He said directly: "My brother is down there taming the strange fire. If you need, I can ask him to help you complete the transformation instead of asking this Dou Zong old man to help you. The price is that I need you to help me once."

Medusa's eyes flashed as she looked at Yao Lao. Yes, what this guy said just now reminded her that there is still an old man of Dou Zong level here. Even if she ran away today, the Snake People could not escape.

Medusa was secretly shocked when she thought of the horror of being stared at by a Dou Zong Sun and Moon.

Moreover, if it was this guy's younger brother who helped him, it would be safer. At least he should be able to take a considerable amount of initiative and wouldn't have to worry about the other party doing something tricky, instead of being secretly attacked by this old man, even though he couldn't beat him anyway.

Uh...it seems that the ending is already determined. Medusa is no match for Yao Lao, so she has no choice. "Why?" Medusa asked her doubts. The other party could have defeated her directly, so why did he help her just for that one time? Don't be kidding. If he could help her break through to Dou Zong, it wouldn't be a problem to attack her ten times, let alone once. The cost and reward are not proportional at all.

Medusa didn't believe that any benefits would come to her for no reason.

"Because I want you to take action against the Yunlan Sect."

Medusa's eyes moved slightly. The Yunlan Sect was the most powerful sect in the Jia Ma Empire. It seemed that the sect's patriarch Yunshan had already reached the peak of the Douhuang level. No one knew what the situation was like now. If they attacked this sect, it seemed reasonable.

"Queen Medusa, what do you think?" Xiao Li asked.

In fact, it is not that complicated. It is simply because Xiao Li needs a Medusa who can fight with all her strength, rather than a Medusa who only wants to save Xiao Yan's life.

Medusa glanced at Yao Lao. Dou Zong was the realm she had always dreamed of. As long as she broke through to Dou Zong, she could lead the snake people out of the desert and would no longer have to suffer from the heat. What's more, she had just experienced the power of Dou Zong herself, which was completely different from what she had now.

"Okay, I promise you." Medusa gritted her teeth. She was no match for Yao Lao anyway, so she might as well give it a try and bet that the other party really valued her fighting ability.

Xiao Li smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Xiao Li looked at Yao Lao, "Yao Lao, please help my third brother absorb the strange fire. I think Her Majesty the Queen will not disturb you."

Feeling Xiao Li's scrutinizing gaze, Medusa snorted. Who was she, Medusa? Her words were her bond, so how could she go back on her promise?

What's more, the properties of the strange fire are incompatible with hers. With someone to make the conversion in the middle, Medusa will have a better chance of success.

Especially when Medusa felt the breath at the end of the passage, a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Little fighting master, you can do whatever you want when the time comes.

……

Xiao Ding felt that there was something wrong with his eyes. He must have been blinded by the red light just now. He actually saw his second brother sitting with a beautiful snake.

In fact, it was just Medusa who was looking at Xiao Li indifferently, "Why did you attack Yunlan Sect? Do you have a grudge?"

Xiao Li shook his head, "Not now, but there will be one soon."

Seeing that Xiao Li didn't say anything more, Medusa suppressed her curiosity. She had her pride. "Where did you get that secret?"

The news of relying on strange fire to transform is one of the biggest secrets of the snake people. Medusa must confirm it, in case there is a traitor.

"My ancestors had some strength. I learned about it from the family collection." Xiao Li lied, but he was not wrong. The ancestors of the Xiao family did have some strength, probably in the top three on the continent. Medusa would not doubt it when she found out about it in the future.

Medusa nodded, asked the two questions in her mind, and then stopped talking and began to wait quietly.
